ATHENA GOLD™ FALSE SUNFLOWER -
18-24 Inches Tall 18-24 Inches Wide--
Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra Athena Gold™ is a standout perennial known for its exceptionally sturdy habit and prolific blooming period. Often called False Sunflower, it features semi-double to double flowers with bright, golden-yellow petals surrounding a deep orange-bronze center. Unlike some older varieties that tend to become leggy or flop under the weight of their blooms, Athena Gold™ maintains a compact, upright form, typically reaching about 2 to 3 feet in height. Its deep green, lance-shaped foliage provides a clean backdrop for the flowers, which begin appearing in midsummer and continue to brighten the garden well into autumn.
To flourish, Athena Gold™ requires an ideal spot in full sun, which ensures the strongest stems and the highest volume of flower production. It is highly adaptable to various soil types, including clay, provided the area is well-drained. While it is notably drought-tolerant once its root system is established, regular watering during peak summer heat will keep the foliage looking crisp and extend the life of the blooms. It is hardy in USDA zones 3 through 9 and is a favorite for pollinators like bees and butterflies.
